Well one of them anyway, Jedi Knight 2.
This ame is the absoloute nuts, had it for a while now and the more I play it the more I love it.
The force powers are uber cool in the later levels, walking into a room of stormtrooper just wielding a lightsaber and taking them out one by one in a shower of spark and severed arms is just so damn sweet.
Nothing like choking people to death Darth Vader style using force grip. I can't stress how cool this game is. It really does feel like you're a Jedi, the further into the game you get the more powerful you get. Taking on whole army's of Stormtroopers single handedly with a lightsaber is just so damn fun.
There's been a lot of criticism about slow down and the graphics, ignore this, there are a few problems in early levels but after a while they seem to go away and it's just a slick PC conversion type game.
If you have any intrest in Star Wars and 1st Person shooters then I urge you to pick up Jedi Knight, it fokin rocks.
Best single player 1st person shooter on the Cube, no questions asked.
Now if you'll excuse me i've got to go force push some Stormtroopers from uber high ledges and laugh at them as they scream like big girly troopers.

Clone Wars is a supposedly crappy version of Rogue Leader anyway.
Bounty Hunter got 81% on IGN and they said it's much better than the PS2 version. Seeing as Jedi Knight only got 78% and I'm feckin loving that, I reckon Bounty Hunter's gonna be a hella sweet game.
Pity we have to wait till early January for it.

yeah, anything star wars floats my boat. iam looking forward to bounty hunter too, but i'm not getting clone wars as it's basically rogue leader, which i didn't like.

does jedi knight 2 have multiplayer?
I'll add it to the list, then..
:D
:D
It's basically a normal 1st person shooter, except you've got force powers (which rock) and by about the 10th level (there's about 23 levels, it's uber big) you're probably better of using your Jedi skills and a lightsaber instead of guns in most situations.
Using the force is the the nuts you do anything from pushing stormtroopers over so they fall off cliff edges to using a Darth Vader style choke grip and choking them to death. The lightsaber is just as cool as you'd expect, you control it with the C-stick and it fokin rocks. Beleive me once you have the power of the force behind you, enemies will be in no doubt as too who the Daddy is.
In my mind it's worth money just for the 1 on 1 lightsaber battles.

So tell me a bit more about it..
Is it the usual formula, done very well?
Or is it something different, like how 'Deus Ex' applied adventure to the FPS genre?

Yup as long as you like Star Wars. It'll last you much longer as well.

I'm very interested in this - would you recommend it over Die Hard: Vendetta?
I much prefer PC FPS control method, it's just more fluent. That could be down to the fact that I haven't played many console FPS which are any good. Either way though, I will be getting Jedi Knight soon, I was a fool to miss it when it was first released, so I won't let it slip by me again.
